A Great Turning

Now after five days Ananias the high priest came down with the elders and a certain orator named Tertullus. These gave evidence to the governor against Paul. Acts 24:1

And with a subtle tip of the planet, the days will now grow shorter until the cold days of December. Of course to get there we have all the cool and pleasant days of July and August to get through.

Paul, the apostle of our Lord Jesus Christ, had some tough days to get through as well, not only imprisonment but a group of 40 men dedicated and oath-bound to see him dead. That is just the sort of popularity most of us would rather do without, I think. However, there was reason for Paul to rejoice, since by their hateful actions Paul was confirmed in his testimony of Jesus Christ! Paul had come hard about and all the way home from the days when those same 40 men would have held him up as their champion and hero in their war against those they knew as the Nazarenes or the Way.

Great turnings worked by the Lord Jesus!
